The Epoch-Making [Green Blood]!

Punk Hazard, Research Institute No. 1.

Vegapunk's eyes lit up when he saw the Pirate Emperor being dragged into the laboratory by Storm.

"Beasts Kaido? Where did he come from!"

Upon hearing this, Sentomaru, whose round, chubby face was practically splitting with surprise, couldn't help but glance at Vegapunk.

Uncle Punk, what's with that tone you're using, like you've just discovered something new in a store?

This is the Pirate Emperor!

Beasts Kaido, who rivals the White Dragon Emperor!

Sentomaru is practically living in Bengbu now.

"Didn't you notice?"

Storm paused for a moment, then offered a casual explanation.

"He offered himself up."

"Very nice..."

Vegapunk said with obvious envy.

"I wish I could be that lucky."

"Rare and unique experimental materials are delivered to my door... I'd love to experience something like that!"

That's what you're saying...

Storm looked at Vegapunk speechlessly.

Even if Beasts Kaido were to actually deliver himself to your doorstep, would you have the ability to capture him?

Sentomaru simply found the conversation between the two "super big shots" next to him utterly unacceptable.

He silently left the laboratory and quickly brought back the highest purity Seastone chains, which directly bound Beasts Kaido into a huge, black "iron dumpling".

Punk Hazard, as a cutting-edge scientific research island, has no shortage of things like "Seastone".

Storm gave Sentomaru an approving look.

Although he felt that it was unnecessary to put "Seastone chains" on Beasts Kaido.

But this is ultimately Sentomaru taking initiative; he's a hardworking and proactive young man.

Storm likes honest, hardworking people like that.

Vegapunk looked at the bound Beasts Kaido and couldn't help but squat down, reaching out his palm to grope the latter's head and horns, while a rather suspicious drool dripped from the corner of his mouth.

"Beasts... hehe... Azure Dragon... Oni Clan... hehe..."

Because Vegapunk's "World's Greatest Brain" had already been severed by Law using the power of the [Op-Op Fruit].

Therefore, his physical burden was greatly reduced, and he could move around as easily and freely as an ordinary elderly person.

But that expression... really doesn't look like that of a normal scientist.

"Dr. Vegapunk! Have some manners! Watch your manners!"

Storm, seeing the infatuated look on Old Berlusconi's face, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids and shouted loudly.

"Scientists, don't be so twisted."

Among the top ocean scientists that Storm knew of.

Aside from the brief but memorable appearance of "Dr. Tsukimi".

Vegapunk is arguably the most normal one.

Every single other scientist is a psychopath!

But Storm didn't expect that either.

Vegapunk wasn't devoid of madness; he was just not obviously so.

This is unbelievable...

"Cough cough!"

Vegapunk was brought back to his senses by Storm's shouts. He couldn't help but raise his hand and cough heavily twice, actually trying to wipe the drool from the corner of his mouth.

"Um, what, Storm, you just... [Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit], yes! That's it!"

"I happen to have some inspiration regarding the development of Devil Fruit, and I'd like to share it with you."

Storm suspected that Vegapunk was deliberately changing the subject, but he had no evidence.

After all, he wasn't a scientist, nor did he have the authority to monitor the internal research projects of Research Institute No. 1 around the clock.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a forced, insincere smile.

"Doctor, please begin your speech."

"A speech? That's an exaggeration..."

Vegapunk shook his head and said solemnly.

"Actually, I recently made a minor breakthrough in my research on [Lineage Factor Technology]."

"I've discovered that the main power of Devil Fruit is concentrated in their Lineage Factor."

"This means that if Lineage Factor can be copied, then the power of Devil Fruit can also be copied."

Storm nodded calmly.

He knew about this too!

Knowing something is one thing, but actually doing it is another.

Does Vinsmoke Gage not know about [Lineage Factor Technology]?

However, his actual skill level is far inferior to Vegapunk's!

"Wait a minute!"

As Vegapunk got into the conversation, he suddenly turned around, rummaged through the storage box in the laboratory, and finally came back with a glass test tube.

Inside that transparent glass test tube was a bright green, unknown solution.

"This is my latest invention!"

Storm glanced at the solution, then at Vegapunk, recalling the previous topic, and tentatively asked.

"This is... a man-made, liquid Devil Fruit?"

"Uh, it's not that exaggerated..."

Vegapunk shook his head, then immediately explained.

"This is a [Egg-Egg Fruit Solution] that I cloned from Baron Tamago's Lineage Factor. I haven't done any specific experiments yet."

"However, according to my theoretical calculations, a creature that drinks this [Egg-Egg Fruit Solution] can gain the power of the [Egg-Egg Fruit] for a short period of time, until the power of the solution is completely exhausted."

Storm blinked; this time he really understood.

It's not a [Devil Fruit].

It's actually a [Devil Fruit Temporary Trial Card]!

This thing...

Storm looked again at the [Egg-Egg Fruit Solution] in Vegapunk's hand.

Isn't this just the future "Green Blood"?!

Among Vegapunk's many groundbreaking inventions.

The existence of [Green Blood] is undoubtedly extremely explosive.

Just as Vegapunk described.

[Green Blood] is a special solution that contains the power of Lineage Factor.

In the future, Vegapunk used the members of the Shichibukai as a template to create the highly sophisticated super robot [Seraphim], whose strength surpasses that of ordinary Shichibukai.

As long as this [Green Blood] is injected into the [Seraphim's ] body.

This would allow [Seraphim] to obtain the corresponding Devil Fruit ability.

For example, [Seraphim (Jinbe S. Shark)], who replicated the power of the [Water-Water Fruit]...

For example, [Seraphim (Hawk Eyes S. Hawk)], who replicated the power of the [Slicing-Slicing Fruit]...

There are even [Seraphim (Snake Princess S-rank Snake)] who replicates the power of the [Mero Mero no Mi], and [Seraphim (Tyrant S-rank Kuma)] who replicates the power of the [Paw- Nikyu Nikyu no Mi]...

Especially the latter two.

It's almost a faithful Shichibukai!

No.

It should be said that it surpasses the original Shichibukai!

Certainly.

Even in the future version of [Green Blood], it will still have flaws.

The drawback of [Green Blood] is that its usage time is limited.

The "ability experience time" that a fixed unit of [Green Blood] can provide is also limited.

After being injected with [Green Blood], [Seraphim] needs to be "recharged" regularly in order to maintain her abilities.

In addition.

The inherent flaws of Devil Fruit are also reflected in [Green Blood].

It fears the ocean and keratin particles.

But no matter what...

The invention of [Green Blood] is definitely a groundbreaking creation!

Storm completely ignored Vegapunk's mention of "Baron Tamago" --

That Baron Tamago could evolve in three stages—followed by "Chicken Viscount" and "Rooster Earl"—had long been given to Vegapunk as research material.

Storm merely glanced at Beasts Kaido beside him.

If he remembers correctly.

The Lineage Factor contained in [Green Blood] come from only two sources.

Paramecia- Devil Fruit User.

Zoan Devil Fruit User.

As for Logia Devil Fruit, even Vegapunk four or five years later was unable to extract their Lineage Factor.

But that's not important.

The important point is that Beasts Kaido is a Zoan Devil Fruit User!

Aren't the so-called "Mythical Zoan" simply fantasy creatures that combine the Physique of a "Zoan with the abilities of a " Paramecia?

Vegapunk can extract Lineage Factor from Zoan and Paramecia Devil Fruit to create [Green Blood].

This also means that he can absolutely create [Green Blood] containing the power of Mythical Zoan!

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Storm clapped his hands and laughed, then pressed for an answer.

"So, in that case, how many [artificial Azure Dragon Fruit] can Beasts Kaido create, and how much [Azure Dragon Fruit Solution] can he produce?"

Storm was still concerned about the [Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit].

Aside from the basic manufacturing costs, he could obtain Eight-Star Devil Fruit without investing any extra effort!

As for the [Azure Dragon Fruit Solution]...

That's pretty impressive.

"Theoretically speaking, Beasts Kaido is right here. As long as we can keep extracting his Lineage Factor, we can keep creating [artificial Azure Dragon Fruit]. As for [Azure Dragon Fruit Solution], that's even simpler."

Vegapunk thought for a moment, then spoke seriously.

"However, artificial Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, as well as Devil Fruit solutions, are very expensive."

"Although we have previous manufacturing experience, which allows us to save on initial research and development investment this time, each [Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit] is still very expensive..."

In short, we need to pay more.

"It doesn't matter!"

Storm waved his hand dismissively.

"The Gild Tesoro will connect with you!"

The entire underworld, along with the wealth of the three Emperor Pirates: the BIG MOM Pirates, the Red-Haired Pirates, Beasts Pirates...

Storm has so much money he can't even count it all!

It's just research to support Vegapunk, nothing special.

Vegapunk breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving Storm's promise.

As long as you pay, everything is negotiable.

Science requires continuous investment to develop!

Hmm... it could also be "regression"?

Storm had Vegapunk collect a lot of "materials" containing Lineage Factor from Beasts Kaido.

He did not intend to imprison Beasts Kaido on Punk Hazard Island.

This azure dragon has extensive experience in escaping from prison.

If Storm remembers correctly.

Beasts Kaido was also Vegapunk's research subject back then, but he escaped and caused a lot of trouble and destruction for the World Government along the way.

Storm didn't want Vegapunk to be in danger.

Beasts Kaido should just stay in his solitary prison in the void and sit there obediently!

He would only come out to "take a break" whenever Vegapunk needed him.

Storm, filled with anticipation for the [Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit] and the [Azure Dragon Fruit Solution], left Punk Hazard with Beasts Kaido.

Over the next few days.

Storm has been adapting to the Nine-Star [Armament Haki] and has completely mastered the new ability of the "Steel Body".

Until this day.

Kizaru, acting as an inside man, secretly sent a message.

The supreme commander of the Knights of God, a high-ranking Celestial Dragons, Figarland Gringu Saint, is about to arrive in New Marineford!

Second update.

It was indeed the early hours of the morning...

Goodnight everyone.
